I've recently been talking with people about the rising minimum wage in Korea and colloquially heard them refer to it as 최저시급.



I looked this phrase up in the dictionary, however, and couldn't find it, but I did find 최저임금.



Is there a difference between the two? Can they be used interchangeably?



Edit: Changed 시금 to 시급 based on a helpful comment.

    Are you sure it's not 최저시급 that you've heard? 시급 is another word for hourly wages

  • @gaeguri Not sure. That was probably it! Thank you.

  • Although if I search naver.com for 최저시금, I get a few hits - but my guess is that people are mistakenly combining 임금 and 시급.

임금 means 'pay'. It includes all kinds of income; annual pay, monthly pay, weekly wage, daily wage and hourly wage.
시급 only means hourly wage.



Thus, 최저임금 means minimum wage and 최저시급 means minimum hourly wage.
However, 최저임금 and 최저시급 are used much in the same sense.

    Also worth noting that the "Minimum Wage Committee" in South Korea currently determines the minimum hourly wage. For example, the minimum wage of 2019 was determined to be 8350 Won/hr, increasing 10.9% from 7530 Won/hr this year. So, when people talk about, e.g., "최저임금 1만원 시대", they're talking about minimum wage per hour (i.e., 최저시급). Example news article: biz.chosun.com/site/data/html_dir/2018/07/14/2018071400247.html

Confectionery

Prepared foods made with a lot of sugar or other cabohydrates "Sweetmeat" redirects here. For the racehorse, see Sweetmeat (horse). Not to be confused with Sweetbread. This Kransekake is a traditional Scandinavian baker's confection. Confectionery is the art of making confections , which are food items that are rich in sugar and carbohydrates. Exact definitions are difficult. [1] In general, though, confectionery is divided into two broad and somewhat overlapping categories, bakers' confections and sugar confections. [2] Bakers' confectionery, also called flour confections , includes principally sweet pastries, cakes, and similar baked goods. Sugar confectionery includes candies ( sweets in British English), candied nuts, chocolates, chewing gum, bubble gum, pastillage, and other confections that are made primarily of sugar. In some cases, chocolate confections (confections made of chocolate) are treated as a separate category, as are sugar-free versions of
